Black Cat Chase 5K

My mom at her first 5K! The Black Cat Chase is a fun Halloween themed run that is put on by YMCA. It was at 7:00 at night and was is downtown Franfort at the State Capitol. There were over 1600 people and a lot of people wore costumes. We started off at the old capitol lawn and ran UP to the capitol building. It was beautiful running towards the capitol all lit up! We went around the capitol and then the whole race was downhill to the finish. Mom crossed the finish line at 30:35! GO MOM! She is ready to do another one. There are a couple Jingle Bell Jogs coming up so I think we will do one of those.

Twila Keeps Running

Wife. Mommy. Teacher. Who loves to run and always tackling the next thing! I was a non-runner until post baby when I couldn't get my old figure back. So...

I Ran/walked my first 5K in May 2009. Spent the summer of 2009 running 5Ks. Tackled 2 half marathons in Spring of 2010. Tackled more 5Ks summer of 2010. I ran my first full marathon in October of 2011 and quickly became addicted. I am now on my way to becoming a 50 stater and hope to accomplish my goal by the age of 50 : )

How it started...

I am a marathon runner who is hoping to run a marathon in all 50 states! Please follow along as I take on as many marathons as my budget, family and body will let me. If you are a 50 stater I would love advice/information on what races are good ones. Thanks for stopping by!
